More than a bad day: Worries grow that Barack Obama & Co. have a competence problem
New York Daily News ^ | 3/15/09 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 03/15/2009 8:54:53 AM PDT by Nachum

Not long ago, after a string of especially bad days for the Obama administration, a veteran Democratic pol approached me with a pained look on his face and asked, "Do you think they know what they're doing?"

Big surprise here. They have a perceived competence problem because they are in fact incompetent not only in the areas of foreign affairs, protocol, basic economic principles but on everything and it shows just ask Joe Biden...lol...

We have put someone who has ZER0 understanding of market economics, in charge of the world's largest market economy.

This cannot end happily.

Obamunism

I think they dont know what they are doing. However, they are ideological leftists who secretly hate this country.

Well, at least America showed itself and the world that it isn't racist.

Now let's impeach this dud and find someone who knows how to run this country.

Of course this isn’t the least bit surprising given the fact that Obama doesn’t have any sort of executive experience or any experience in the private sector whatsoever. And, given the fact that this man is a committed radical and socialist, no one should be surprised that he is enacting socialist policies that harm the economy. To Obama, ideology is more important than doing the right thing, if he even knows what the right thing is.

They know exactly what they are doing. They are putting ideology above all else which is exactly what I’d expect from and Obama Admin.

Yup. First he's got to make sure the "middle class" is stripped of all wealth. Wealth equals independence.

Once he accomplishes this then the world he wants is set: Two classes - - - The ruling class and all the rest who depend on them for everything from cradle to grave.

What Obama doesn't understand is that the one thing the securities markets have the most trouble with is "uncertainty"...and that is exactly what Obama is providing.

What is "unspecified change" if not uncertainty?

And in an absolute jaw-dropper, he told business leaders, "I don't like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government's role."

It's not the government's money, it's taxpayer money. And Obanana is completely lying about his intentions.
